At first the narrators where a little difficult to get over, after reading the book and Imagining the characters and then suddenly being given a different image with the narrator’s voices.
But they actually did really well at bringing Wren and Rose to life, and you get so caught up in the story it’s easy to imagine and get lost in Katherine and Catherine’s beautiful world of Eana!
Enchanting!

However, I have a big issue with the production.
When choosing voice actors, it might have been helpful to have given the character with a Scottish love interest to the actor who can actually DO one. Or, failing that, to have had both performers discuss together whether that artistic choice was actually going to work, and discarded the idea.
Both narrators are good vocal performers, but one of the performers is British, and one clearly American doing her best to master accents she is clearly not proficient with. However, this doesn’t seem to have been an issue, because no one cared enough to do any joined up thinking.
Audible basically has the monopoly on audiobooks, and I think this kind of complacency is unfair to both the co-authors and the performers, all of whom have poured hours of graft and effort into creating the best story they can, only to be let down by lazy production.
Anyone considering downloading this, read the book yourself instead. You’ll get more value that way.
Good story, but lazy and complacent production choices
